Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species: First sequence: STUVWX Second sequence: UVXTSW Third sequence: UVWSTX Fourth sequence: SWVUTX Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)2341

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1, 4, 3, 2.

Explanation:

It is given that the first sequence represents the earliest or ancestor species therefore, the first sequence would be - STUVWX

After the inversion, the highlighted sequence of the first sequence STUVWX gives rise to the second sequence as:

STUVWX

SWVUTX

Thus the second sequence after Ist inversion would be SWVUTX

2nd inversion, Third sequence:

SWVUTX

UVWSTX

Thus the third sequence after 2nd inversion is UVWSTX

3rd inversion, fourth sequence:

UVWSTX

UVXTSW

Thus, the fourth sequence after 3rd inversion is UVXTSW

Select the incorrect statement regarding macromolecules found in cells.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The repeating subunits of DNA are ribonucleotides whereas in RNA they are deoxyribonucleotides.

Explanation:

Ribonucleotides are repeating subunit of RNA while the deoxy-ribonucleotides are repeating subunits of DNA. That why RNA full form represent the ribonucleic acid and DNA represent deoxyribonucleic acid.

Actually the word "deoxy" means one oxygen is removed or less in DNA. The DNA  lacks the one oxygen atom of hydroxyl group at carbon number two of ribose sugar. While RNA have the hydroxyl group at carbon number two of hydrogen atom.

The removal of one hydrogen atom in DNA make it more stable than RNA because DNA is made specifically to store genetic information and needed to be strong. The oxygen atom in RNA makes it vulnerable for attack by other biological molecules.

How do CAM plants differ from C3 and C4
algol13

Answer:

C3 photosynthesis produces a three-carbon compound via the Calvin cycle while C4 photosynthesis makes an intermediate four-carbon compound that splits into a three-carbon compound for the Calvin cycle. Plants that use CAM photosynthesis gather sunlight during the day and fix carbon dioxide molecules at night.

Why doesnt it rain much in east ferris
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

When it is cold higher up, the water molecules in water vapor come together; the water vapor becomes liquid water, which then falls as rain When the air gets to East Ferris, there is not enough water left in it to fall as rain. East Ferris people use too much water and do not recycle.
